Method
Find the recipe for the chicken and chickpea traybake here.
Take your leftover vegetables and chickpeas, minus the chicken, and put into a blender. Shred the chicken and set aside.
Add your tahini, olive oil and lemon juice and blend the whole think till you have a broken-down mixture. Now add your ice cubes and blend till you have smooth, creamy mixture.
Pour into a flat serving dish and spread out. Sprinkle with coriander and the shredded chicken and drizzle over some olive oil. I love to serve this with warm pittas and vegetable sticks.
TIP: Adding ice to the hummus while making it creates the most deliciously smooth dip – totally worth a try!
